The Nakba, or "day of catastrophe," remains the central issue of struggle for the Palestinian people. Commemorated each May 15th, the Nakba began in May 1948 when the State of Israel was founded on Palestinian lands, leading to the forcible expulsion of 75% of the indigenous population. Today, over 5 million Palestinian refugees remain in refugee camps in countries around the world, unable to return to their land and homes. They are the oldest and largest refugee population in the world.
With the announcement, just one day before the Nakba, that Israel has settled with hundreds of Palestinian political prisoners on hunger strike, we reflect on 64 years of Israeli occupation—and Palestinian resistance—with a survey of Verso's responses to this struggle.
Gideon Levy writes in Ha'aretz on the role of Israeli dissidents and his recent appearance at Jewish Book Week 2011:
About two weeks ago, I was invited to the Jewish Book Week in London, following the publication in English of my book "The Punishment of Gaza." The Jewish establishment in Britain threatened to boycott the event, the organizers considered hiring security guards, and roughly 500 people, mainly middle-of-the-road Jews, filled the hall, asked questions and mainly, in their modest way, expressed great sympathy. I spoke, as I always do, against the occupation, the injustices and the damage it does to Israel and to the Palestinians, against the attacks on Israeli democracy as I have written in the hundreds of articles that have been published in Haaretz in Hebrew and in English, and as I did at the London School of Economics and Trinity University in Dublin.
As on previous occasions, a "spy" from the Israeli Embassy was sent to Trinity - this one, an Israeli student who was asked to write down what I said and convey it to the embassy. The embassy quickly dispatched a report to the Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem, and the Foreign Ministry quickly leaked it to a well-known newspaper, which published only my harshest statements, without context - and there you have it: the indictment of a dissident.
Visit Ha'aretz to read the full article. The Yedioth Ahronoth article on Gideon Levy's talks can be read here. When Gideon Levy visited London last year, the Israeli Embassy emailed British Jews telling them about the event then, when they were criticised in the Jerusalem Post, said it was to inform "Jewish activists...about an anti-Israel event".

Jai Michael Barry's massages are as relaxing as the new-age music he loves to create. That's because the founder of Ancient Art Massage & Bodywork, who has recorded three albums and played numerous benefit concerts in his other life as a songwriter, gets the little details right: the massages take place on heated tables and incorporate treatments ranging from ayurvedic aromatherapy to egyptian ear candling. It's also because his repertoire is so broad. Jai can spend a session relieving stress with Swedish techniques, treating head and back pain with craniosacral therapy, or manipulating the body's energy with reiki. He also leads meditation sessions on the night of each full moon.

Southwest Orlando Eye Care's optometrist, John Nowell, has been keeping people clear-eyed in his hometown for more than 20 years. This ocular expertise hasn't gone unnoticed, with the Southwest Orlando Bulletin and other local publications lauding his commitment to patient education and no-hassle customer service. But, Dr. Nowell's compassion goes beyond the exam room; when he's not at the office, he can be found serving his community as a member of the Orlando Rotary Club and volunteering his time with The Coalition for the Homeless.
In addition to contact lenses, eye exams, and the treatment of ocular diseases, Dr. Nowell and his staff help faces keep pace with newly twinkling eyes through a menus of aesthetic services. They can combat acne with microdermabrasion session, or boost collagen growth and the ability to converse with Lite-Brites via an LED facial.
The photos we leave behind may be the only way for future generations to see the styles and personalities we bear. That's why the professional makeup artists and photographers at Glamour Shots strive to capture the true essence of a person with their shoots. Whether commemorating a milestone event or a successful trip to the grocery store, each session begins with the shop's signature full airbrush and style makeover, which works to prevent unwanted shine while imparting a chic aesthetic. Makeup artists tailor looks to the purpose of the shoot, imparting children with a red-cheeked glow and boudoir subjects with a dark, seductive color palette.
Photographers encourage everyone to bring a few outfits and props from home, allowing them to give each photo shoot an individualized touch without snapping close-ups of their subjects' fingerprints. Clients get to see the photos immediately so they can approve the looks and order their favorite shots in the form of pictures, phone cases, or calendars. A professional lab then prints out the chosen items using a range of color finishes—including colorization to make one color pop and the company's signature Glamour Touch retouching—onto made-to-last Kodak paper.

Hey guys.
I probably shouldn't put this off anymore, so I'm just going to jump on it and improvise. I'm pretty sure the show is over. It was a ton of fun doing it, but with work and my son and my wife in school I simply don't have time to do it anymore.
Other folks have offered to take over but I don't really feel comfortable with that. Quit while you're ahead, sez I.
Anyhow, I payed for another year of hosting, so the archive of podcasts will be available for at least that long.
I really enjoyed podcasting, so I might do something again in the future. I'll keep you posted.
Thanks guys and gals! It was AMAZING.

604 S 64th St, Milwaukee, WI | Directions 5321443.025966 -87.992355
Neighborhoods: Johnson's Woods
Still Smoking! – Wow, after continuous complaints they are still smoking in this place. Their disregard to all customer types is insulting. They even have an amazing patio and with the nice weather you would think that is the place to light up. NOPE! They do it right at the bar and it is a big middle finger to the the law and the customers who don't smoke. I run 2 yearly events where I work with local bars to get groups together and show support by booking their place. This one is definately off of my list
Best Burgers in Milwaukee – I live in the Milwaukee area and frequent this place often. Its primarily a corner neighborhood bar but the food is excellent. The three dishes that I usually order are the Philly Cheese steak sandwich, BBQ Pulled Pork sandwich, and the Carolyn's signature burger with sour cream and chive fries. My favorite dish they have is their Caribbean Jeark Steak Burrito But this one is not on the menu yet and I have only seen it as a special. The owner told me that he plans on putting it on the menu soon so if you do check this place out look for it. You wont be disappointed. One thing to keep in mind is that since this is mainly a bar they don't always have a server working so if you do come for food and the bartender is busy be prepared to order your food at the bar. Aside from the food its a great place to hang out and catch a couple drinks too. The clientele is a great mix of younger and older people. Ive never had any problems with anyone at this place; everyone is very respectful.

Two home runs from senior Taylor Hoagland carried No. 7/7 Texas past Texas Tech 4-1 on Saturday afternoon at Rocky Johnson Field. In the circle, senior Kim Bruins did her part for the Longhorns (41-6, 11-2 Big 12), scattering four hits while improving to 9-0 this season.
Hoagland's two home runs increased her career total to 57, moving her past Amber Flores (Oklahoma/56/2007-10) and Megan Gibson (Texas A&M/56/2005-08) for sole possession of second on the all-time Big 12 chart. Hoagland trails only Jessica Shults (Oklahoma/60/2010-present) for the career conference mark.
Bruins surrendered one run and three walks while striking out five in the complete-game performance. Gretchen Aucoin (6-3) took the loss and went five-plus innings for the Red Raiders, yielding three runs on six hits and striking out four. Cara Custer tossed one inning and gave up an unearned run on two hits and a whiff. Brittany Talley completed the Texas Tech pitching effort, throwing the seventh and allowing two hits and fanning one.
Much like in game one Friday, Texas again struck first, scoring once in the opening inning with a Hoagland long ball to lead off the game.
Texas Tech (29-23, 3-11 Big 12) responded with its own solo home run in the bottom of the inning as Mikey Kenney hit one to center field.
After both teams went quietly in the second, another Hoagland solo homer in the top of the third put the Longhorns back ahead, 2-1. It was Hoagland's third multiple-home run game of the season and seventh of her career.
The Red Raiders had a chance to answer in the bottom of the third, but could not convert. Sydnie Tapia led off with a walk and stole second base, but a strikeout, groundout and pop out left her stranded.
Neither team mounted another threat until the top of the sixth, when Texas added two runs to go ahead 4-1. Junior Brejae Washington led off with a single, stole second base and came home on a one-out single up the middle from junior Mandy Ogle. Freshman pinch runner Rachel Scott entered for Ogle and moved to second base on a groundout. With two outs, senior Torie Schmidt rolled a grounder to the second baseman, who threw wide to first base, allowing Scott to come around and score to make it a 4-1 contest. A groundout ended the threat.

Martin: Vols' hoops starter Maymon likely to miss start of regular season9:20 am | October 25, 2012
KNOXVILLE (AP) — Tennessee forward Jeronne Maymon likely will miss the start of the season after having a setback in his recovery from offseason knee surgery.
Although Tennessee coach Cuonzo Martin didn't rule Maymon out for the Volunteers' Nov. 9 opener with Kennesaw State, he's preparing to start the season without the second-team all-Southeastern Conference selection.
"Jeronne had a minor setback, so we probably won't have him at the start of the season," Martin said before the Vols' Wednesday afternoon practice.
Martin wouldn't estimate when Maymon might be ready. He didn't go into detail on what caused Maymon's setback.
Maymon underwent arthroscopic surgery on each of his knees in two separate offseason procedures. The 6-foot-7 senior had surgery on his right knee in March to repair torn meniscus. He had arthroscopic surgery on his left knee in June.
He averaged 12.7 points and ranked fifth in the Southeastern Conference with 8.1 rebounds per game last season. His leadership on and off the floor helped the Vols go 19-15 overall and 10-6 in the SEC after being picked by conference media before the season to finish 11th in the league.
"It's always tough when you lose that kind of a guy," Martin said. "Obviously he's not lost for the season, but it's a case of if we don't get out of the gates with him our first game of the season, (you miss) that type of mental leadership, mental toughness. Obviously his skill level speaks for itself, but that type of leader doesn't come by every day."
Tennessee does have plenty of depth in its frontcourt.
Jarnell Stokes, a 6-foot-8 sophomore forward, averaged 9.6 points and 7.4 rebounds in 17 games last year after joining the team at midseason.
Stokes was a first-team selection and Maymon was a second-team pick on the preseason all-SEC team announced Monday.
The Vols also return 6-9 senior forward Kenny Hall and 6-9 sophomore center Yemi Makanjuola. Hall made 16 starts and compiled 6.2 points and 4.5 rebounds per game last year before being suspended for the final nine games of the season. Makanjuola averaged 2.3 points, 2.8 rebounds and 8.3 minutes as a freshman.
Tennessee's post players have said they believe they have one of the nation's best frontcourts. Stokes said Wednesday that this frontcourt remains very strong even without Maymon. But his absence would leave a major hole, at least in the short term.
"You're not talking about a guy who doesn't play," Martin said. "You're talking about a major factor in your program. I think guys have been practicing without him, so they've kind of got a feel for it. It's one game at a time and you work from there.

Obama to get help from former top Clinton aide
WASHINGTON (AP) — John Podesta, a former chief of staff to President Bill Clinton and a trusted Democratic operative, will join the White House staff as a senior counselor to President Barack Obama, two persons familiar with the move said late Monday.
Podesta will take his place at the White House at a critical time for Obama as his health care law tries to shake itself off from a disastrous enrollment rollout and as the president seeks to re-establish his agenda going into a midterm election year.
Podesta is the founder and former president of the Center for American Progress, a Democratic think tank with close ties to the White House.
The New York Times first reported Podesta's move. The two persons familiar with the development confirmed it to The Associated Press on the condition they weren't named because the announcement was not official.
Podesta, 64, is well respected in political circles both as a strategist and a policy thinker. He would likely step into the role played by Pete Rouse at the White House, who is expected to leave soon after serving as a counselor and, for a time in 2010, as acting chief of staff for Obama.
Clinton leads volunteers in Gateway STEM spruce up
Students at the Gateway Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) High School will find some upgrades when they arrive for classes Monday morning. The St. Louis magnet school was the beneficiary of a community service project that capped off the sixth annual Clinton Global Inititative University. Former President Bill Clinton and his daughter Chelsea led more than 700 volunteers in giving the school a makeover inside and out.
President Clinton carried his message to commit to action to St. Louis challenging students to find solutions to issues regarding human rights, public health, the environment, poverty, and education. Speaking at Gateway STEM high school, Clinton urged Americans to focus on science, technology, engineering and math.
"We need to produce, over the next decade, one million people trained in the STEM areas just to maintain our current position, never mind to recover the rate of economic growth and prosperity that the country needs," Clinton said.
Volunteers spent the day Sunday painting, carpeting, weeding and planting gardens.
Gateway Principal Beth Bender says the improvements included the installation of over 80 solar panels as well as a place for students to grow vegitables.
"The Washington University school of architecture and landscape design has designed these beautiful and very functional raised bed gardens so we can do some urban farming here in the city and our students can learn about that," Bender said.
Bender says Clinton's project will have a big impact on her school.
Former president leads conference in St. Louis
ST. LOUIS (AP) - The Clinton Global Initiative University gets under way Friday in St. Louis with former President Bill Clinton leading a discussion on the challenges young entrepreneurs and innovators face in launching a new business.
The president's daughter, Chelsea Clinton, is scheduled to speak at the session. Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey, who grew up in St. Louis, is part of the panel.
More than 1,000 university students from 75 countries and all 50 states are participating in the weekend of events at Washington University. The goal is to develop practical and innovative solutions to the world's problems.
Previous Clinton Global Initiative conferences have taken place at George Washington University, Tulane University, the University of Texas, the University of Miami, and the University of California, San Diego.
Former President Bill Clinton in town for weekend event
ST. LOUIS (AP) - Former President Bill Clinton is hosting more than 1,000 college student leaders from across the nation and abroad this weekend at Washington University in St. Louis.
The Clinton Global Initiative University is an outgrowth of the former president's philanthropic foundation.
Featured speakers are to include Chelsea Clinton, the ex-president's daughter: television host Stephen Colbert; actress Jada Pinkett Smith; and Twitter creator Jack Dorsey, a St. Louis native.
Student participants are required to make "Commitments to Action" that involve community projects focusing on education, the environment, human rights, poverty and public health.
The three-day conference begins Friday night and includes a Sunday service project at Gateway STEM High School.
Stephen Colbert to interview President Bill Clinton at Washington University
Colbert will interview Clinton on April 6 at Washington University. The appearance is the closing session of the sixth annual Clinton Global Initiative University meeting. Clinton started the program five years ago as a way to engage the next generation of leaders from around the word.
The interview will air during the Colbert Report during the week of April 8.

WESTERN SAN JUANS – Former State Rep. J.Paul Brown is making a bid to reclaim the Colorado 59th House District seat in 2014.
The Republican sheep rancher and businessman from Ignacio marked his announcement by touring the sprawling 59th District last Saturday, with stops in Durango, Pagosa Springs, Lake City and Gunnison. Planned stops at the Ouray Christian Fellowship and Hardrock Restaurant in Silverton were postponed due to travel delays.
Brown previously represented Colorado's HD-59 from 2011-2012, but lost to Durango Democrat Mike McLachlan in the 2012 election by two percentage points – the narrowest margin of any House race in the state – after the district's boundaries were redrawn to make it more competitive for Democrats.
The district now encompass Archuleta, La Plata, Hinsdale, San Juan and Ouray counties, and the southern half of Gunnison County – including the City of Gunnison.
Rep. McLachlan, who survived a failed recall attempt last spring over his votes in favor of gun control legislation, is now halfway through his first term and has filed papers to run again in 2014.
"I feel I would represent the 59th District better than the current representative, who voted with the Front Range liberals 99 percent of the time," Brown said.
Issues of particular concern to Brown include gun control and health care legislation.
"We would have never heard of gun bills going through the legislature if Republicans had been in control, because those bills would never have been run," he said of the controversial gun control legislation passed last spring by Colorado's Democratic-controlled House and Senate in the wake of the Sandy Hook School shooting last year. "It's very important for us to be able to protect ourselves and our country."
Brown also disparaged Colorado's new health insurance exchange, created in anticipation of the new federal Affordable Care Act, saying would probably dismantle the exchange if he had the choice.
"I think one of the issues we will face in Colorado is a lot of people that will not be able to afford health insurance," he said. "The premiums are going up, deductibles are going up and some people's insurance is being taken away. I haven't been afraid to take on tough issues; that is one we will have to address."
Brown, who served on the Transportation Committee during his two-year stint in the Colorado legislature, also cited the condition of Colorado's highways as an area of concern.
"We need strong leadership to convince folks we have got to maintain our highways," he said.
As a rancher, Brown said, water rights and conservation are of particular importance to him. If re-elected, he said he would fight to keep the Western Slope's water on the Western Slope.
"The Front Range wants our Western Slope water," he alleged, advocating for more storage capacity, both on the Western Slope and Front Range. Referring to the record-breaking floods in Colorado this fall, he pointed out, "If we could store that water on the Front Range, that would relieve demand for a transcontinental diversion of Western Slope water.
Brown added that he will be watching the formation of the new Colorado Water Plan mandated by Gov. Hickenlooper "very carefully; I do not want the federal government to have anything to do with our water plan," he said. "I have heard they want to be involved; we have Colorado water and I don't want the feds messing with it."
Brown, who served for 12 years on the Ignacio School Board, was opposed to Amendment 66, the recently failed ballot measure that would have brought $1 billion annually in new funds for public schools through a statewide income tax hike. If it passed, the amendment would have allowed for the implementation of the new Public School Finance Act, SB213, passed by Democrats last spring and signed into law by Gov. Hickenlooper, that sought to implement a profound overhaul of the way education is funded, and money delivered, to Colorado's public schools.
"Education is the biggest portion of our state budget; the main thing I did not like about Amendment 66 was that it went into the state's constitution and guaranteed that 44 percent of the general fund would go to public education," he said. "There are too many variables; if you put it in the constitution, it's not flexible enough. Budgeting for K-12 education belongs in the legislature with the joint budget committee. When times are tough, we have to tighten our belts; all departments have to do that, including K-12."
As for the "gerrymandering of the 59th" that led to the previously Republican-dominated district becoming more competitive for Democrats, Brown said, "It definitely was done purposely to see that I wasn't re-elected. But we came very, very close – less than 2 percent, even with that. We have a real good chance to take the District back."
As he toured around HD 59 last Saturday, Brown said, "We had a great reception. Folks were so kind. My wife and I were very very pleased and thankful for the reception we received. I want to try to restore trust in the government. You may not agree with me, but you know where I stand, and I will do my best."

The on again off again relationship between Vitor Belfort (18-8) and the UFC is on again, and the Phenom who blasted through competition like Wanderlei Silva, Terry Martin and most recently highly regarded middleweight Matt Lindland - has made his way back into the UFC fold.
Now fighting primarily at middleweight, the Brazilian jiu jitsu black belt was rumored to be one of the potential replacement fighters for Josh Barnett but the fight with Fedor Emelianenko at Affliction Trilogy vaporized when the mixed martial arts arm of Affliction ceased operations and signed a deal to sponsor the UFC instead.
Belfort was originally scheduled to fight Jorge Santiago on the Affliction card and has now signed on to fight former UFC middleweight champion Rich Franklin in the main event of UFC 103 in Dallas, Texas replacing Dan Henderson in the main event.
Henderson has been rumored to be dropped from the card entirely, and could be next in line to face current middleweight champion Anderson Silva in a rematch.

I love this restaurant! I have never had bad service or bad food here. Great atmosphere great food, don't be fooled by the haters.
Cynthia S needs to get her head out of her posterior. Otherdeb would do well to get the knot out of her posterior clothing. A good attitude upon arriving will most often result in an even better attitude when leaving. There is NO better service than Captain Jacks. If you need to be pampered though, just save everyone the headache of having to put up with you and keep your lousy attitude at home.
Captain Jacks! More Like Captain Jack in the BOx – Not a Good Experience! Jack in the Box is more attentive and less surprises. Most of all DOESN't RUN OUT OF JUMBO JACKS !!!!
Bad Service! NO Prime RIB ! Tough Fillet Mingnon ! MUSHy DIsgusting Salad!!!! Potato CRUSTY OLD & HARD! BREAD OVER HEATED!!!
TRY STEAK n STEIN , PICO RIVERA< CA
EXECELLENT FOOD ANY STEAK < PRIME RIB < CHEESE BREAD LOBSTER< CRAB LEGS!!! PLUS Soothing MUSIC :) SAXOPHONE PLAYING ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY!!!
NOT LGBT FRIENDLY – I have eaten at Captain Jack's many times, and have always been impressed with both the food and service, but after the way my friends were treated when dining there for a birthday, never again.
My friends (a female couple) were there to celebrate one of their birthday's, and while there were several other birthdays being celebrated in the restaurant that received the obligatory singing and cake, my friends were ignored, even though the non-birthday girl told the staff they were celebrating a birthday. My friends are classy, educated people, who know how to act appropriately in a fine dining establishment.
When they spoke to the manager on the phone, this was his reply: "well... uummm.... you know we are a family restaurant" She told him she was there with her family and he said " well... maybe we have a different way of seeing things."
I'm stunned and sickened that a restaurant of that caliber (or so I thought) would be so openly discriminatory, especially since they are so close to one of the largest LGBT communities in Southern CA (Long Beach) and undoubtedly have had a great many LGBT people dine there and spend alot of money.
I will never eat there again, and will not recommend it again (I've sent many people there) and I'm calling out the management to make this right, apologize to the community and my friends, invite them for another dinner (comped, of course) and get out of the dark ages and recognize that ALL people deserve respect, especially when shelling out their hard earned dollars in your establishment.
I'd give it minus stars if I could.
I LOVE this place!!! – You cant go wrong with this place! Everything about it is great. Its worth every cent :)
OC's Best All Around Restauraunt – Everything is great! Best recommendation I can give you is to dive in and do not look at the bread offering. You will not have room for all the great stuff. Personally I love the Prime Ribs, and escargot. Salads are very good and generous. The Prime Rib is so big you may not finish, but you should. Service is the best, atmosphere is great, canal view, and overall quaint. The place has been a favorite of Barbara Bush (yes that one) but very unpretentious. Just have a good time.
My favorite place to eat in the whole wide world! – Captain Jack's has been my favorite restaurant since I was a teenager. I don't eat the prime rib, (my husband does and loves it) but all other entrees have always been excellent too! The ambience with the nautical theme is wonderful and the music in the bar is very good.
We have lived in Idaho for the past 18 years, and still make it back to Captain Jack's once or twice a year. We are headed there tomorrow for our 28th anniversary dinner and just going down to S. California to go to Captain Jack's.
I have told many people in Idaho about the restaurant, and now they make a point to eat there when in town. One of the gals I work with I told about Captain Jack's. She makes a reservation to eat there with her girlfriends every year when they go down for the Pageant of the Masters.
Food and service are excellent and we have never been disappointed. I wish they still injected the giant chocolate covered strawberries with Grand Marnier, but they stopped that about 20-25 years ago. That was always a favorite.
My husband and I are looking forward to tomorrow night's dinner, because we know it will be the best we've had in a restaurant since the last time we ate there!
Captain Jack's serves the county's best prime rib – Captain Jack's is located in a quaint little beach town called Sunset Beach on Pacific Coast Highway between Long Beach & Huntington Beach. The restaurant decor is very nautical and showcases some beautiful salt water fish tanks. The entrance and bar area are very dark, but once you get into the dining room the sunlight brightens it up. If you get a table near the windows, you can watch people puttering around in their commuter boats or paddle-boarding in the canal.
Although Captain Jack's is well-known for their King Crab Legs, their Prime Rib is the star. All entrees include a dinner salad (Ranch & Bleu Cheese dressings were great), rice, and The Captain's Famous Hot Pumpernickel & Sourdough Bread. The initial bread slices are personally presented by your server giving it a touch of class. The gigantic center cut Prime Rib is a whopping 28 ounces which is cooked medium to medium rare. It is the juiciest and most tender prime rib you'll ever come across. You could cut it with a butter knife - that says it all. It comes with au jus & creamed horseradish or straight horseradish if you prefer.
Can't forget about the King Crab Legs! The legs are pre-scored so very little cracking is necessary. The meat was sweet and juicy just the way it supposed to be. It comes with drawn butter to make it even sweeter. Be prepared to take a doggie bag home. Leftovers are great warmed up the next day.
After all that, who has room for dessert? Well, make room. The Chocolate Amaretto Mousse Pie was incredible. Imagine a Chocolate Silk Pie with a shot of Amaretto to punch it up a notch - out of this world!
If you happen to be near Sunset Beach or just want a food adventure, head on over to Captain Jack's and let the Captain take care of you.
Love this place, too! – One of our favorite places! Great service, good food!
A landmark!
Love this Place – I've been eating at Jacks since they were on Beach Blvd, years ago. Every once in a while they miss fire, but I will always come back. A little expensive but worth it for me and my family. And definitely not for young children even thought I've brought my children here since they were in diapers to college graduation. This is where they learned to behave in public. Red Lobster, Dukes do not compare to Jacks. Maybe Walts Wharfe, but not these other places. Mancha!

Born April 9, 1933 in the Parisian suburb of Neuilly-sur-Seine, Jean-Paul Belmondo was the son of sculptor Paul Belmondo.

After a close examination and a brief chat, my doctor offered his diagnosis.
"You put your head where it didn't belong when you were a teenager."
"What?" I mumbled.
"Inside a football helmet," the doctor replied.
I responded in a way only a dumb jock would. "Oh," I said.
My football career, thoroughly unremarkable as it was, had its share of injuries, including knee pain, pinched nerves in my shoulders and concussions. One collision, with a foe wearing a yellow helmet, briefly tinted my vision — yellow grass, yellow sky, yellow everything else. What followed was a thoroughly disoriented few moments.
All this has come back to me with news of a proposed $765 million settlement between the National Football League and 4,500 former players and their families.
The stakes are high for these NFL veterans and their loved ones. At least a half-dozen former NFL players have taken their own lives since 2011. A growing body of evidence suggests that repeated brain injuries may have played a role in these players' depression and eventual suicides.
A 2009 New Yorker article by Malcolm Gladwell (titled "Offensive Play: How different are dogfighting and football?") began by citing the example of three former NFL players — one who "ended his life a recluse, sleeping on the floor of the Pittsburgh Amtrak station," another who "killed himself ...by drinking antifreeze," and a third who "sank into depression and pleaded with his girlfriend— 'I need help, somebody help me'—before shooting himself in the head."
Gladwell concluded that "their real problem was with their heads, the one part of their body that got hit over and over again."
Gladwell also reported the results of a survey of retired NFL players. Instances of those who had been diagnosed with "dementia, Alzheimer's disease, or other memory-related disease" were well over the national average for men their age.
The NFL, which is a $10-billion-a-year business, was facing a public relations disaster. It needed to come to terms with the former players and avoid a drawn-out trial. (Current players aren't covered under the proposed settlement.)
Had this matter gone to trial, it's not hard to imagine how fans would feel watching their one-time NFL favorites hobbling up to the courthouse begging for help.
Likewise, the players, many of whom are reportedly suffering from the effects of countless collisions, couldn't wait forever for relief. Also, it wouldn't have been easy to prove to a court that their injuries were exclusively the result of playing in the NFL, as opposed to college or high school or other non-athletic bad habits.
"It's far better than the alternative … a constant drip, drip, drip of the NFL looking like they're strong-arming their former players," David Carter, executive director of the Sports Business Institute at the University of Southern California, was quoted as saying when the settlement was first announced late last month.
There are many steps to cover. First is that a federal judge must approve the settlement. After that, it will take about 180 days for players to begin receiving money for treatment of their brain-injury-related conditions. The NFL will undoubtedly continue in its attempts to make the sport safer by better protecting players.
Of course, even sooner on the timetable is this weekend's start of the NFL regular season, a time when many talented athletes might just be putting their heads where they don't belong.

Baltimore, Maryland -- U.S. Senator Ben Cardin announced that his report to be filed with the Federal Election Commission for the second quarter of 2011 will show that he has raised over $1 million during the last three months. Over 1,300 individuals gave to Senator Cardin in the second quarter, with Marylanders making up the majority of donors.
"I strive every day to tackle the serious challenges facing Marylanders and our entire nation. Helping to create and protect quality jobs, keeping our Bay healthy and our drinking water clean, and protecting seniors from efforts to slash Medicare and Social Security are at the top of my daily agenda," said Senator Cardin. "It's humbling to receive such an outpouring of support as I prepare for the 2012 campaign."
Senator Cardin also will report having over $1.8 million cash on hand.
